Page 14-Friday, December 10, 1982-The Michigan Daily Sadat's peace trip 5 years later By The Associated Press CAIRO, Egypt - In the cool Cairo evening of Saturday, Nov. 19, 1977, President Anwar Sadat took off in a Boeing 707 jetliner and 65 minutes later landed in the land of the enemy-Israel. There he declared, "No more wars," and with Prime Minister Menachen Begin of Israel set in motion the machinery that led to the signing of Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty in Washington March 26, 1979, with Presdent Jimmy Carter at their side. The treaty changed the course of Mid- dle East History. Now, five years after Sadat's precedent-breaking trip, there have been no more wars between Egypt and Israel but the peace process between the two nations has stalled-and pos- sibly is in seriour trouble. EGYPTIAN government sources list a succession of Israeli actions which they claim are to blame: the an- nexation of Arab East Jerusalem on July 30, 1980, and the Golan Heights on Dec. 14,r1981;the bombing of theIraq's nuclear reactor June 7, 1981; the decisions earlier this year that led to the suspension of Palestinian autonomy talks, and the invasion of Lebanon last June 6. Israelis, too, see some trouble with the peace treaty, especially since the in- vasion of Lebanon and the routing of Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas from Beirut. Troubles mounting for Egypt-Israel accord Prime Minister Begin shrugs off any talk of trouble with the peace process, saying it passed its crucial tests with the invasion of Lebanon and clashed with Syrian forces. BUT ISRAELI officials in Jerusalem say Begin purposely is underplaying Israel's concerns to avoid aggravating them. Some Israeli officials say they may be losing the ground patiently gained since Sadat visited them five years ago. "Perhaps 'freeze' is not the right word," one top Israeli government of- ficial told The Associated Press in Jerusalem. "Maybe we should call it a regression." The Israelis don't accept any blame for the suspension of the Palestinian autonomy talks, which were provided for in the second phase of the peace treaty. They maintain those talks never got under way because the Egyptians refused to negotiate in Jerusalem, which Israel has proclaimed as its capital and which Arabs consider oc- cupied territory. "THE EGYPTIANS from the start saw normalization as an instrument to play," commented Eliahu Ben-Alissar, Israel's first ambassador to Cairo. "When they thought that . . . they could apply pressure on us, they tightened their belt." Sadat is no longer around to help in any mendng of fences-he was assassinated by Moslem fundamen- talists while reviewing an Egyptian army parade Oct. 6, 1981. His successor, President Hosni Mubarak, has been unable to expand contacts with the Israelis because of the succession of Israeli actions that other Arabs seeas evidence of what they call Israeli insincerity. SADAT'S three-day visit to Israel in 1977 was hailed in Egypt and Israel as a step that would bring not only peace but prosperity, through trade and tourism. But trade between the two countries has barely topped $1 million annually. The Israeli invasion of Lebanon has all but frozen trade now. Tourism, vital to the economies of both nations, is a one-way street, with tens of thousands of Israelis visiting Egypt each year, and only a few Egyp- tians, mostly officials, visiting Israel.
